True, You should not douche with the solution. If you have no other medical issue such as cancer or the other transmitted diseases on the back of the douche box water is the best way to clean. It is a must to scoop out the bv at night before going to bed & in the morning when you wake. The main thing that has to be done is scoop the b.v. out keep scooping up to not seeing any on your finger THEN use the douche bottle (pour out the solution, rinse the bottle then put cold or warm water in it) this process does good but not as good as changing your diet. This was not hard for me because I got tired of smelling bad after a few years. I began keeping track of what I ate. I tried the starving myself crap. Still smelled bad. That pesky drop of bv smelled worse. I noticed as I kept track when I ate sugary foods & drink I smelled way worse than when I ate salty foods. The best thing is noticed was when I ate a salad plus ate some fruit. I hate water but I drank it and actualli had sex without the guy gagging. I thought to myself this is what I need. I began drinking fruit smoothies instead of eating candy bars, I changed my whole diet taking out everything that made me smell worse. Here is the thing, I love sugary foods like everybody else but I had to cut it out. I ate my favorite sugary cereal because it has way less sugar but still got over the sugary need. I changed my soap to non perfume sensitive to skin soap because our vagina is super sensitive as it is. I noticed great improvement within the first month. When scooping,flushing or both depending on if you have other issues you have to do this every day every night. Do not stop. Do not do it every other night do not skip anything. The more you clean the less time it takes. The better you eat the closer you get to fresh taste, smell, period ( you can wear pads again!) I thought I was never going to have sex again before this vaginal or anal but I can not only have sex but stay clean go to the store after sex & take shower when I feel like it. I knew females who tried the apple cider vinegar etc. They smelled worse than with b.v. alone. The also said their mate HATED they way they taste. I refuse to put anything in me but water & my finger to clean out. Within 5 months of changing my diet, no sex for the first year ( if you use condoms, clean out after sex, douche with water you should be safe), change my soap I was clean & fresh smell. I did use deodorant spray during that time to help while getting clean. I enjoyed taking shower at night then waking up to do the same it gave me purpose because I had no support whatsoever. I worked out & did this. One day I woke up & I said wait, I do not smell bad anymore. Then I started tasting myself because I wanted to have oral sex again. No lie I tasted horrible but once that 5,6 month came around I began to notice a change. I found more healthy things like I cut out bread & used lettuce as bread, when I ate my salad I put interesting things in it like mint leaves ate the yellow part onli because I notice the whole egg made me smell some. I ate tofu, rice, I found myself more & more clean I became obsessed with finding new fresh foods. At one point I was eating salad for every meal. Fresh fish for dinner I around a year I noticed my period was fresh. My blood smelled like fresh water. I was floored. Yes I scooped out during my period but NO FLUSHING. This is bad for your health. Do not flush wait 4 your period to stop then flush again with water. Healthy or not you can make yourself sick if you flush during your period. I tried the reprhesh before I started my cleaning regimen but I never liked the hell feeling or discharge after. That helps bit does not fix the issue. I tried metrinidozole etc but it did not work. I got tired of having b.v. 8 years. Then the smell etc set it. Once I did my cleaning methods that 5,6 months then the whole year I was clean & fresh. I lost weight feel great & took the chance after the second year of clean & fresh to have oral sex. He.Loved.It! I was confident my sex life was back & it is. I have now been clean 4 years. I do not wake smelling bad. I can eat sugary foods, drinks again. No smell or taste. I can go for days without scooping flushing. I still do it (yellow) but there is never any taste but fresh. Do not forget to take vitamin every day with these methods. I have heard from people of every age,culture,profession that my methods worked for them.They thanked me 4 helping me keep their jobs,careers & relationships. Marriages saved Mates got back together because my methods worked for Female & Male. Anal is close in cleaning but because it is the Anal area & there are feces ( poop) involved that is another post on how to clean. Anal done correct should be clean within 5 months. Do not use soap in the vagina. Not even perfume soap in the douche water. Wash your hands & nails before & after you clean out. Use condoms. This is the most important. Please change your eating habits or you can never really be clean. Much Respect. Take care.
It looks as though you have tried my methods but you forgot many important things. Change your eating habits. It makes no difference if you do not change the sugary things as a whole. It is best to masturbate instead of had sex. I am a very sexual Woman. That saved me the first year. Use condoms. Scoop out the B.V. every night & morning. If you use anything other than water in douche you can hurt yourself. Go to the Doctor to make sure you have no other health issues before douching with water. I would not recommend Flushing if you have health issues. Scooping may take more time to do but scoop up to not seeing any B.V. Take vitamin everyday. I have seen plenty of Woman who used cidars,vinegars,lemons & they said they taste worse.I might need to Patton my methods since you said "you came up with this" credit where credit is due. Could you not say you picked it up from another site like you did?
I'm still bv free but no I do not use that wash anymore. Use plain water and that's all :).
Were you only using the lemon juice probiotic wash when you had BV, or do you still use it regularly? are you still BV free??
